Science Club

Schools continue to emphasize the importance of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, but some of the best ways to get your child on that path are right in front of us.

From simple questions you can ask to full-on projects, you can plant seeds that could grow into 21st-century problem-solving skills.

The YMCA of Port Angeles, Port Angeles School District, Port Angeles Education Foundation, and Americorps expose Port Angeles High School students to real-world science. The Science Club takes monthly trips to science lectures, exhibits, and museums.

“Did your teachers force you to come?” asked the gentleman from Montana. “No, we all wanted to come” replied Gillian Elofson. “How much extra credit are you getting?” he wondered. “No extra credit” Mr Johnson answered.
